Neeld, Craig and Ratten? Too many cooks Answer.......Lingy

Play Jack Viney at Casey in '13 so we get picks 3 & 4.
Roger Mellie replied to Range Rover's topic in Melbourne Demons
If he's ready to play and is better than 3/4 of our team, he wont pussyfoot around at Casey -
Understandable oversight - you left out Petterd

Demonland Player of the Year - Round 14
Roger Mellie replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Looked injured in the 2nd half for mine -
Spencer's first game after more than a year. Had a knee reco and currently is our 4th ruck option. Let's kick the [censored] out of him eh
-
I miss it
-
For those interested Jack Viney is playing for Vic Metro this Friday
-
Nah Neeld's not struugling. He set himself up perfectly by playing that albino monk with the fishing tackle stuck in his leg in the Dan Brown film. Not a film buff so cant remember the name of the filum and it was ordinary anyway.

How do you solve a problem like Moloney?
Roger Mellie replied to Jesse Christ's topic in Melbourne Demons
How do you catch a lout and pin it down? -
Fair point and Martin will probably get the FF gig and swap with Jamar. I would argue that we play a tall side at the outset and wouldn't suffer too much - although it does mean Sellar is the back up ruckman
-
Not really excited by Tapscott, but even less so by Martin. There are few players at the MFC who I wish wouldn't back themselves so much - he's one of them. He plays OK in the back line because like Watts ( a fellow basket baller) he can read the play much better. WHen he's in the ruck, he needs to give it off more rather than rely on his athleticism to deliver a crap kick or take the wrong option. In the forward line it's much the same. A brilliant athlete and a footy nuff rolled in to one
-
JC is an out an out gun. If you cant see his A grade / star potential, then you're not looking or blind I would throw anything at him to get him to the MFC. Forget Cloke. As I understand it, he hasn't re-signed yet. Dont thing the MFC would be at the top of his destination list, but would still pay way overs
-
Out Clark In Tapscott Not like for like, but Tapscott started to have an impact. Our forward line worked well in the second half without Clark. I would rather have the Gys in for Beamer, but I think they'll give him another week at Casey Get well soon Mitch - it doesn't get much more gut wrenching than this
-
A little confidence goes a long way. We were rubbish in the first quarter with Mitch Clark keeping us in it. Fortunately found our feet and a bit of touch. Dunn was good on the back line - seemed to suit him McDonald was great apart from some dodgy kicks. He seems to unleash some very flat, tired looking kicks but otherwise, his supreme fitness and endeavour was brilliant Sylvia, Jamar and Davey found a bit of touch Moloney was crash and bash without much effect Blease laid a tackle or two, played well in the 3rd then disappeared Joel Mac plays alright with no pressure, pity it rarely happens I think Nicho is important because he knows what the coaches wants. He runs, spreads, blocks Sellar showed he has pretty good vision, is mobile and has some skill. It seems to me he becomes a liability when even slightly off-balance We had some good forward pressure. Rivvo, Garlo = goals Trengove is still a bit of a worry. If he's not injured, then he's so focussed on his role, he's forgotten his natural game. I don't think there were huge deficiencies in his game at the outset. He chased, tackled, blocked.and is a pure footballer - maybe needed to add the spread dimension but so did the whole team. He's always lacked a yard but no more than Jones or Moloney. I saw a glimpse of what he can do and has done today and hope to see more. Another great show from Jones

No words required just a picture of Scully with his orange footy shorts on fire would do the job

Trade our first two picks for Pick 1?
Roger Mellie replied to Tyson4Brownlow's topic in Melbourne Demons
Good luck policing it. GWS have already given us a taste of what they are prepared to do to beat the system with O'Meara - and in this case they declared their hand -
Trade our first two picks for Pick 1?
Roger Mellie replied to Tyson4Brownlow's topic in Melbourne Demons
Nothing wrong with your thinking JJ as it would guarantee us Viney as a 2nd round pick, plus Whitfield and pick 12. GWS might go for it for trade options (trade out pick 3 or 4 for an established player - get some other deal over the line). Other than that I could not see them budging on Whitfield. GWS become more dangerous if they don't finish last. I think you need to look at GC as well. They may well finish last which changes everything. I would also not be so sure they would sit quietly with pick 2 without a) kicking up a stink B) throwing a spanner in the works. It's also conceivable that we finish 17th to change the scenario again. -

Kyle Reimers? No thanks - a spud with attitude
-
Hatchman - I think Rollo is stuck in a cupboard in the Wayback Machine. No one's seen him for a while. Can you have a look?
-
Thanks all. ended up going to the Boomerang Bar to see it on the big screen ( thanks 3Jacks). Interestingly, Melb supporters outnumbered Filth supporters, but then again, I don't think you can get into Singapore with a criminal record.

Cheers will give it a go

Yep - get Australian Network but it's not a public holiday here so there's normal daytime SHYTE (and I mean SHYTE)
